A usable Open Source Local Positioning System would be great!
An ESP32 with UWB has been available for a while, but it seems to be problematic to implement and calibrate, despite some examples that demonstrate it working well. A clear guide on doing this would be brilliant.

There was a very long thread recently about local positioning using LIDAR and another device I don't recall. It would be interesting to hear how this UWB would fit in unless of course I am completely misunderstanding what your first post is talking about. Most folks first post is the introduction but I see you have garden railway in the UK in your profile so that tells us a bit about you. Welcome!
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

I've had this one in mind for quite a while now, so I'm glad to see someone suggest it.
I think that the ESP32 you are referring to is the Makerfabs ESP32 UWB, as it's the only one I'm aware of - if you know of a different module, please let me know.
I’ve been intending to pick up a few of these, I was hesitant as the only sources used to be Tindie and Makerfabs themselves, but I see that RobotShop has them now (although in Canada they are out of stock, with new ones arriving in late November).
So I certainly will accept this suggestion!
